The President of United Earth (also known as the President of Earth or President of Earth and Titan) is the head of state for the various incarnations of United Earth and the planet Earth's governments. (SCE eBook: The Future Begins, ST novel: Starfleet: Year One, DSC episode: "...But to Connect")
- The Tales of the Dominion War short story "Eleven Hours Out" also established a role of Prime Minister of United Earth, which is confirmed by the ENT novels The Good That Men Do and Beneath the Raptor's Wing. This would seem to indicate that United Earth is a parliamentary or semi-presidential republic, with the President as head of state and the Prime Minister as head of government.
